by Ancestral Sword

supported by

bandfan25 Atmospheric and evocative of far-off times and lands, a wonderful album! Favorite track: Obtaining the Ancestral Sword.

krakenfury me: it's like a soundtrack to a late 70s fantasy movie shot in b&w by some weirdo film student war gaming nerds.
my gal: sounds cool. reminds me of laurie anderson.
